Glitter, glitter everywhere Happy New Year

 Shabby Sparkly Christmas Card

Silent Night, Holy Night.

All is calm, all is bright.

Let's hope that is so for the new year.


I have been using up supplies and going OTT with sparkle and gold but I love it.


A dip and drip background from my left over box


Some tim holtz tissue wrap added using collage medium and applied a gilded accent.


Used stencil to add grit paste and added distress glitter whilst it was still wet. When it was dry I gently brushed off any excess. 


I found a moon that had been made last year for a project where I'd dipped and dripped distress inks, punched the circle and covered it with rock candy glitter.

I used up a row of fir trees that had been cut from Tim's sparkle classic card and used coffee archival to highlight the edges.


I found a gold banner in the bits bag and thought I'd go mad with the sparkle, shine and glitter. I added  'silent night' using Tims remnant rubs. The black writing went well with the black text in the background.


Finally I found some gold stars also in the bits bag, I sanded the points to distress them and blended brown distress ink over them and used them to finish the design.


As I was putting the card elements together and mounting on the card I decided to spritz some Fossilized Amber Spray Spritz behind the trees.



Here's to a happy, healthy and peaceful 2025 for everyone.
Peace of Earth.
